Backhand Serve The backhand serve is an effective serve if done correctly. The backhand swing enables you to spin the ball faster than you would on a forehand. With enough spin, a backhand serve creates unpredictable angles as the ball bounces off from the walls.
Hitting a backhand serve The backhand serve utilizes the spin of the ball to keep it as close to the side wall as it can. It can be delivered as a lob or a smash serve. Either way it give away the ‘T’ position from your opponent and gives you more time to get ready for a return.
Direct the ball near the opposite corner of the front wall. An unpredictable angle can be made with enough spin on the ball to confuse your opponent and will bring the trajectory closer to the side wall. Have the ball clip the side wall to make the shot even more effective.
